All foreign citizens who come to Spain to study must request the corresponding student visa in the Spanish Consulate in their country of origin after fulfilling all necessary requirements.
It may be assumed that foreigners requesting this visa intend to carry out or continue their studies in a recognized learning center in Spain where they have been previously accepted and will receive a certificate or degree upon completion.
It is understood by immigration that foreign students will be taking part in an academic mobility program which takes full responsibility for the student´s stay in Spain, studies and return to home country.
Participation in training activities or research programs in a recognized learning center is also considered part of one´s course development and continued course training in our country. One may request a student visa for such programs as well.
You may also request a student visa if you plan on carrying out non labor practices. In this case, a signed agreement with the company must be submitted.
